A growing number of evaluations increases the potential for systematic learning on an aggregated level. However, we often lack adequate methods for rigorous evaluation synthesis. Hence, we developed a quantitative evaluation synthesis design that is open for a variety of different evaluations. Our design increases the explanatory power of our synthesis model and accounts for evaluation quality.

Moreover, little is known about the empirical relationship between evaluation quality and results. Time for Germany’s official development evaluation institute (DEval) to conduct a comprehensive meta-evaluation of 513 project evaluations from 2006-2016.
